'''Map games''' are, as the name implies, [[gaming|video games]] where you stare at a map. They can be turn-based or [[RTS]] style but are generally a genre of their own. They generally take a while to play a campaign; [[Reconstruction Era]] will usually schedule game nights or even multiple-day sessions to play through a game.
The '''Reconstruction Era Website''' is a collection of online services hosted on the [[box|RE Box]]. Its home page was designed by [[Flameo]] in CodePen and features usually-working links to the [[Discord]], [[YouTube]], [[REchan]], [[REchan|chan board]], Patreon, and [[Main_Page|this wiki]]. Since we didn't hire have a real web designer it looks kind of crummy, but that's the charm eh?


== Civilization ==
== The Wiki ==


Sid Meier's Civ <s>5</s> 6 is a turn-based imperialism simulator developed from the [[fascist]] mind of an American chauvinist. It's pretty good

So you want to know a little bit about this wiki? Well, there's not much to say, it was created to provide a kind of archive for [[Reconstruction Era|our community]] and its history. The idea was conceived and implemented by [[Freddo]] in April 2021. Most early pages were created from November 2021 to June 2022. [[Fireball]] played a major role chronicling server history while [[Flameoguy]] created a large volume of general articles. By 2023 the site provided a solid overview of Reconstruction Era and everything that our community gets up to.


Grand Strategy game with the only online servers being dedicated to roleplaying.
During the July of 2023, this wiki was attacked by [[Online Converter|SEO spambots]]. They created [[7_Ideas_For_New_Online_Casinos_Success|all sorts of excellent posts]], although most of these were deleted. The wiki was once again attacked by spambots in October 2023, and hundreds of articles were created every day until late December, with the entire wiki being archived, purged, and reuploaded around the New Year of 2024.


== Paradox Games ==


Most of the games we play are grand strategy games developed by Paradox Interactive. They allow the player to control and develop a nation through history, building an empire and conquering their enemies. These games take hours to play, have buggy and laggy multiplayer, and cost a fortune in DLC to make playable. Naturally we play them all the time.
[[Category:Servers]][[Category:Culture]]
 
===Crusader Kings===
 
''CK2'' and ''CK3'' are set in the medieval era. They focus more on interpersonal politics and dynastic lineage than the state. You can play as a minor noble and scheme your way up to being the emperor, or likely die of syphilis after being imprisoned by your wife/sister. There is the free older version that came out in 2012 and the new game that is actually from this decade, although few people on RE have CK3.
 
[[1234fireball]] will constantly ask if we want to play Crusader Kings 2 and very rarely has anyone taken the bait. One time we played as minor nobles in Venice and nothing happened for 2 hours.
 
=== Europa Universalis ===
 
''Eu4'' takes place during the early modern period, starting in the Renaissance and lasting until the Napoleonic wars. Most of the gameplay involves map painting by employing the main two resources, gold and manpower, in wars of conquest. There is a stupid 'mana system' and a bunch of bells and whistles you can get with DLC but most people just go for world conquest. You can get a sense for eu4 by watching some [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSlGdnbIUw8 pro gameplay footage].
 
Eu4 is notably enjoyed by [[Antea]] and [[Chrobo]].
 
===Victoria===
 
''Vicky 2'' and ''3'' start in the nineteenth century and end 100 years later in 1936. Gameplay focuses on managing production and internal politics that is dynamically linked to population categories and types of resources. Victoria 2 is old as fuck and requires hamachi to play multiplayer. Its warfare system is similar to Eu4 and the diplomacy system is confusing. Victoria 3 just came out and is naturally full to the brim with bugs. It's basically a city builder game with a war system that plays like a mobile app. The diplomatic plays system is kind of cool and it will consume all of your free time.
 
===Hearts of Iron===
 
''Hoi4'' is a World War 2 game. Since it features modern nations and ideologies, the community is rife with people who use it as a proxy for their [[politics]]. Hoi4 has the most workable multiplayer out of all these games and so we play it a lot, at one point every week but now every so often.
 
Much of the game involves managing production, fronts, and technology. The player can control every aspect of their units, and therefore not only their effectiveness in combat but the stress on their logistic system This can be somewhat stressful, especially if you have to [[RTS|micro]] individual units. Gameplay improves with alcohol: Hoi4 Night is a good time to get tipsy and a great time to get drunk. I'm almost certain this is how [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnQC_XGCCI__qrxwgZS27-A Bokoen1] copes with his job.
 
Every game that we play ends up taking two hours of staring a lobbies and rehosting to actually begin. Notoriously this happened once when [[Fynn]] deleted a bunch of files in attempt to remove trains and caused the game to be unplayable. Mysteriously disappearing train files have caused thousands of checksums to come out of alignment and even entire games to desnyc.
 
== Hoi4 Syndrome ==
 
[Talk about political cringe and bad TNO memes]
 
== Diplomacy ==
 
Diplomacy is a strategy game [[Based|based]] around the First World War. Players take turns simultaneously with secret orders, and all movement is adjudicated at once. The game relies on intrigue in order to meet your goals, compared to tactics, this makes it an outlier in games Reconstruction Era plays and often leads to some level of [[Drama|bullshit]]. Reconstruction Era the game via Backstabbr, a free diplomacy website.

The Reconstruction Era Website is a collection of online services hosted on the RE Box. Its home page was designed by Flameo in CodePen and features usually-working links to the Discord, YouTube, REchan, chan board, Patreon, and this wiki. Since we didn't hire have a real web designer it looks kind of crummy, but that's the charm eh?

You're on it!

So you want to know a little bit about this wiki? Well, there's not much to say, it was created to provide a kind of archive for our community and its history. The idea was conceived and implemented by Freddo in April 2021. Most early pages were created from November 2021 to June 2022. Fireball played a major role chronicling server history while Flameoguy created a large volume of general articles. By 2023 the site provided a solid overview of Reconstruction Era and everything that our community gets up to.

During the July of 2023, this wiki was attacked by SEO spambots. They created all sorts of excellent posts, although most of these were deleted. The wiki was once again attacked by spambots in October 2023, and hundreds of articles were created every day until late December, with the entire wiki being archived, purged, and reuploaded around the New Year of 2024.
